F. Last year in History we learned about the Holocaust. We even wrote letters to each other pretending we were involved in the Holocaust. We learned that the Holocaust was a devastating time in our history. Hitler took over and starting killing people because he didn't like something about them, from their eye color to their religion. This reminds me of high school because a lot of the time kids are made fun of because of something different about them.

G. Last year during this project I read a book about the Holocaust. In this book is explained the gruesome details of the Holocaust and what it entailed. It said Hitler tortured Jews and other people because of their religion. It also said that the whole world was in turmoil during this time because of the wars going on in so many places.

H. “The Holocaust was the systematic, bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of approximately six million Jews by the Nazi regime and its collaborators.”
